Controversy

Ramesh Pisharody's absence to the program for around a month has led to a decrease in the show's popularity. The alternative Rajesh also falls short as a replacement for Pisharody especially in bringing liveliness and ability to engage guests with humor rather than showering with all praise and epitomizing them as beyond human which fails to ground with the Malayali audience. His absence or speculated termination was met with high negative feedback through social media. Though the main host of the show Mukesh said this was a temporary setback.
Rajesh, who was already popular as an anchor, later added a video featuring him with Mukesh, Pisharody and Arya, clarifying this point. Later, Pisharody returned to the show, and the popularity increased again.
